Getting Started With BridgeIt

1) Add bridgeit.js to your page.

<head>
    ...
    <script type="application/x-javascript" src="http://api.bridgeit.mobi/bridgeit/bridgeit.js"></script>
</head>

2) Attach a BridgeIt call/callback to some action element on your page. For instance, a button to retrieve a contact from the address book...

<a type="button" onclick="bridgeit.fetchContact('myId','callback');">
    Fetch a Contact
</a>

3) Load your page in a supported mobile device. When you activate the native feature in your page you will be prompted to install the BridgeIt utility app (if you don't already have it), and presto, your application is now BridgeIt-enabled.

Native Applications

The BridgeIt utility app must be installed on devices that access your application, but it is not necessary for BridgeIt to be pre-installed for your application to work. BridgeIt is designed to initiate the installation of the BridgeIt utility app on the users mobile device if it is not already installed. If you prefer to install it manually, you can get the utility app for your device from your favourite app store.
